If you’re wondering, “Hey, where’s part 6?” I’m here to tell you that part six was an interval from the doom and gloom to celebrate Hexa’s birthday!(Blog link: https://oursundayproject.com/act-6-interval-just-some-playful-fnf-covers/) Now we return to our storyline!

OUR STORY THUS FAR(yes, this is the original recap but edited):

Jhordan(or Hexa/Hexadust, as he will be more commonly referred to)is searching for his friends after his apocalypse. He encounters RuvStyle, only to find he was barely holding back the Darkness(aka. the Corruption, not to be confused with the actual corruption, I’m referring to it as the Darkness because I kind of wanna write an FNF Corruption storyline)back. He eventually is forced to give in and transforms into a terrifying combination of his Manifest form, himself, and a Pibbified version of who he once was. He’s in immense pain as he still attempts to fight the Darkness back. The building Hexa found Ruvenstain in(reason for this: I kind of wanted to do a Child’s Play cover, but scrapped that in favor of a Come Along With Me cover, found in Part 1.)catches fire and Hexa runs out. He later finds a black pistol and Zynux, who so far, is the only other Neogang survivor Hexa knows of. They go back to the home the gang once shared, now ravaged by the Darkness. Hexa finds an old picture of the Neogang, but Neonight’s face has been torn out. The sight is enough to bring Hexa to tears. They find the corrupted versions of Sharv and Zuih in the house, and Zuih disappears into the glitchy mass of the Darkness. Hexa can’t bring himself to shoot Sharv and manages to have a quick conversation as Sharv breaks free, for just a bit before becoming fully corrupted once more. He loses control and corrupts Hexa. Zynux bandages his wounds after they run away, hoping that maybe, just maybe, they can slow the spread of Corruption so Jhordan doesn’t get corrupted, and they can find a way to cure it…maybe… They soon encounter Sharv once more, though he disappears after a massive explosion. Sharv later wakes up, exhausted and cold, but uncorrupted. He knows he must find his friends, and that’s what sets out to do.

This will be focusing on Sharv!!! In case you didn’t notice from the featured image, this will be focusing on him, not Hexa! This will probably go on for one or two parts.

STORY STARTS HERE

Sharv walked through the area, shivering from the cold as he took one shaky step after another.

He’d been searching for two weeks-two whole weeks, nonstop.

He wanted to stop. He wanted to just collapse and never get up again.

But he knew he had to keep going. Neo was waiting for him.

“I wish I had my hoodie,” he muttered, “but I don’t know where that went…”

Everything around him was dark, almost black. But he could make out a few walls and the bricks they were made of.

An alley, he thought, that’s new.

He’d entered dark homes, fields, and even entire cities ravaged by the Darkness. But never this.

The alley opened up the farther he got, pushing him to explore even further. It was like a string tugging him forward, leading him whether he liked it or not.

He came to a clearing. His heart sank-it was just another dead end.

But wait…another boy stood at the edge. His back was turned, but an all-too-familiar feeling crept down Sharv’s back.

“…Neo?”

His friend turned around. Neonight was covering his face and trembling. Sharv felt the lump build in his throat.

“It’s me, Sharv. I know you must be in a lot of pain, but…I’m here for you. You can make it through this.”

“You’re going to be okay. I…”

The lump got bigger. Sharv gulped and forced out the last words.

“I promise.”

Silence.

“…Neo?”

He saw his friend’s fingers spread. One eye-closed, but definitely human. His eye opened, revealing a turquoise eye filled with pain.

“You…you promise?”

Sharv wanted to scream, but he kept his voice level. “Y-Yes, Neo. I promise.”

“You promise…” Tears welled in Neo’s eyes. His form glitched, and his visible eye turned to black with a red pupil before he closed it again.

“It hurts, Sharv.”

“It hurts…”

Childs Play but Neonight and Sharv sing it(I bet you don’t know what the first word of the sound file means when downloaded)

A deep voice echoed throughout the clearing. I NO LONGER NEED YOU.

The Darkness split itself from Neonight, leaving the area completely and causing him to fall to his knees.

Sharv didn’t know what he was doing. He ran toward Neo.

“NO!”

He ran over and cradled his friend’s head. “Breathe, Neo, breathe…get up! You’re going to be just fine…!”

Neo coughed. He looked at Sharv and managed two words…

“Thank…you.”

Then he passed out.

Sharv set Neo’s head in his lap and put a hand on his chest. His breathing was slow, but steady. Same with his pulse. His skin was cool, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.

Sharv smiled. “I…I did it. He’s okay.”

He absentmindedly began stroking Neonight’s head, running his fingers through his friend’s tousled hair. “All we need to do is find Hexa and Nux…then we’ll be okay…”

He looked down at Neo, who was sleeping soundly.

Should I sing to him?

Jhordan always said music can lighten someone’s spirits…

I’ll try it. For him.

He took a deep breath. “Happy synthesizer, this melody is for you…”

“I hope my words tou-ouch your heart…”

(yeah, this cover may actually come if my master plan is followed)
